Bergamot Essential Oil | Organic 15 ml

Bergamot essential oil is one of the world's most valued citrus oils. Its aromatic profile is so compelling that it has been used in perfumery for centuries.

As a room scent, bergamot (bitter orange) has a strong mood-stabilizing effect. She can have turbulent emotions calming, promotes clarity of thoughts (workplace) and is primarily revered for its mood-enhancing effect.

Blended with lavender, it is a perfect blend for your nighttime routine to promote restful sleep and sweet dreams. Just a drop on your hands and a deep breath can help calm the mind and lift your mood. The bright sweetness of bergamot puts a big smile on your lips.

• Aroma profile: citrusy, tangy green, sweet, fresh and clean, slightly floral and spicy
• Strength of aroma: medium, slightly sweet and herbaceous and somewhat balsamic in the finish
• Mixes well with most oils including other citrus oils, spice oils, rose, sandalwood, frankincense, vetiver, lavender, jasmine, nutmeg, ylang-ylang, geranium, cypress, neroli, clary sage, lemon balm, marjoram, angelica

Not only is this oil a must-have for your diffuser, but it also has a natural affinity for skin and hair. The nourishing tonic gives your hair shine and suppleness. Add a few drops of bergamot to your favorite oil and apply to clean hair.

Anima Essential Oils

Adriana Ayales, Founder: "I am thrilled to announce that we have officially acquired Floracopeia, an essential oil company co-founded by my dear friend and colleague David Crow.

When I first took David's course over a decade ago and tried Floracopeia's products, I was immediately hooked. The quality and potency of these oils was - and is - incomparable. As strange as it may sound, I've never been a big fan of essential oils. Aside from the classic items in any herbalist's first aid kit, I didn't collect any exotic oils...until I met David.

David and Floracopeia opened up a whole new world of healing potential to me. Since then, I have delved into the traditional art of distillation, extraction and many other preparations. Did you know that aromatherapy and medicinal scents were among the first forms of medicine ever used for health and healing?

Recently, David told me that he was considering closing Floracopeia, the company he has built over the past two decades. I knew immediately that I wanted to make it my mission to continue his legacy by supporting eco-projects that distill some of the best oils in the world. For this purpose I have more than 20 special oils for the Anima Mundi-Pharmacy selected. I believe these oils are a must have in your home or first aid kit for various therapeutic and medicinal purposes.

The essential oil industry can be incredibly deceptive. That's why it's of utmost importance to me to continue David's commitment to bringing small batch distillations to conscious consumers. With strange extractors, diluents, agricultural toxins, and other harmful practices, getting these small batches of very high quality oils from extremely rural areas to you is no easy task. 

We are deeply grateful to David for his lifelong commitment to supporting communities that grow sustainable, natural medicines and preserve ethnobotanical knowledge.
It is a great honor to welcome David to the Anima family as our new Chief Aromatic Officer. Given his profound legacy, we are committed to advancing this important work in close collaboration with David and his team."
